On Saturday morning at 2011 Marion County inauguration cereony at
the Indiana Historical Society. Layton and Curry were swon in. The
Democratic party now controls all counrywide offices. while
Republicans control the Indianapolis Mayor's office and a
majority in the City-County Council. But the pledge from those taking
over the reigns in public safety wasn't a partisan one, but a
promise to "patch up" public perception.

With one hand on the Bible, Marion County's new prosecutor was sworn in
for the second time during that ceremony Saturday morning. His first
crack at the oath came just before midnight at the Country's Arrestee
Processing Center in order to keep the official chain of leadership
intact. But, as the first Democrat to hold the office in 16 years
Terry Curry said there is a lot more chain to "unravel".

In the course of the campaign, it was abundantly clear that a level of
distrust had developed," he told 24 Hour News 8's Troy Kehoe following
the ceremony. "We're going to do a number of initiatives that will take
a little higher profile in the community, and more aggressively engage
the community, and I think we'll fix that in pretty short order."
